Chapter 208: Chimera Poison 1

Yeon Jeung found Soo Hyuk and quickly approached him.

“Soo Hyuk!”

“Yea?”

Soo Hyuk, who was checking the item information, responded to Yeon Jeung.

“Open the friends window and check my level!”

Yeon Jeung said with a smirk.

O.O”

With a puzzled expression, Soo Hyuk opened the friends window and checked Yeon Jeung’s level..

“Uh?”

And then he let out a bewildered voice.

‘One?’

It was because Yeon Jeung’s level became 1.

“What happened to your level?”

Soo Hyuk asked Yeon Jeung.

“I changed my job to a special job!”

“A special job?”

“It is a job called a Guardian. I got it from a job change item.”

Yeon Jeung smiled and opened the skill window.

“Look at this.”

And he shared information about the skill ‘Guardian’ to Soo Hyuk.

[Guardian]

Proficiency: –

Special Effect: 1. Increase target attack power by 10%

2. The target receives 50% damage.
3. Target’s hunting experience increase by 50%
4. Receive 20% of the target’s hunting experience.

Health: 500
Cooldown: 2 seconds
Duration: 1 hour

Soo Hyuk was surprised when he saw the information.
Yeon Jeung looked at Soo Hyuk’s surprised expression and continued.

“This is a buff that can be used on party members! If you have this, you get more experience and I get more! Mutual aid!”

“Great.”

Soo Hyuk smiled. The speed of the increase in experience points was slow, so he was concerned. However, if he receives the buff, even if Yeon Jeung takes some of the hunting experience, Soo Hyuk’s experience will increase as well.

Moreover, it seemed that the uncomfortable feeling of Yeon Jeung refusing to share experience points will not happen anymore.

“Any other skills?”

Soo Hyuk asked.

There wouldn’t be one skill, and looking at the state of ‘Guardian’, the other skills wouldn’t be bad either.

“I haven’t checked them out yet. I’ll check them all and let you know!”

“Okay.”

In response to Soo Hyuk’s answer, Yeon Jeung took out the manual and started reading, then Soo Hyuk started looking at the items again.

Soo Hyuk frowned as he checked half the items.

‘I thought there would be more legendary grades.’

The warehouse had more items than Ebratam, therefore he thought that there would be a lot of legendary grade items. However, even after checking half of it, he only found a legendary grade dagger.

‘I will leave it for Yeon Jeung.’

Yeon Jeung had not acquired all three items yet. He was still reading the manual.

Then Soo Hyuk’s eyebrows loosened while he was checking the item information.

This was because a legendary item appeared.

_________

The Imperial Palace of the Fade Empire.
Emperor Royle had a very serious expression on his face.

“What is the situation?”

Royle asked.

“Currently Oridet, Irenia, Hogil, Homes, Rotinan…… Chimeras have appeared in a total of 27 places up to Obelte, 15 have been cleared up, and 12 are under cleanup.”

“Damage?”

Royle asked again.

“In 13 places except Lenia, all buildings have been destroyed, and so far, 30 knights, 5 wizards are injured, 5 dead knights, and 1 dead wizard.”

“Sigh.”

After confirming the damage, Royle sighed deeply. That was the current damage report. It is going to increase in the future.

“Peton, what should I do?”

Royle asked Peton, his mentor and head of magic in the Imperial Palace.

Peton, who was listening to the report next to him, answered Royle’s questions.

“I went and checked it before, and it wasn’t a normal poison.”

After securing the safety of the Imperial Palace, Peton went to the village where the Chimeras appeared.

“I think I will have to ask the Poison Tower for purification.”

Ordinary wizards knew how to purify poisons. However, the poison left by the Chimeras was not an ordinary one. It was very powerful.

To purify it, they needed wizards specializing in poison.

“The Poison Tower?”

“Yes, they can purify this poison right away. For now, the only people who can do it are the Poison Tower.”

At Royle’s question, Peton nodded his head and continued.

“I think it would be better to make a request as soon as possible. Chimeras are not unique to our empire.”

Chimeras did not attack only the Fade Empire. They also appeared in other countries and were causing a lot of damage. Moreover, there are still more of them.

The chimeras that appeared in the empire were almost cleared up, but other countries were still dealing with them.

Royle could not wait.

“Do you have connections with the Poison Tower?”

Royle asked.

The Imperial Palace Magic Chief, Peron, is very close to the Magic Towers.

What if he had a connection to the Poison Tower?
It would be easier to request help.

“Yes, I have an acquaintance with the Tower Master.”

Peron nodded his head. He had a connection with Pavian the tower master.

“Then can you ask for help? It does not matter how much it costs.”

“Yes, I understand. Then I will leave immediately.”

________

After checking the information on the last item, Soo Hyuk was worried.

‘For now, those two are essential.’

Soo Hyuk had already selected two items to acquire.

‘What should I do with the other one?’

The other one was the problem.

‘Okay.’

His worries did not last long.

Soo Hyuk made his decision and went to acquire his items. First, he went to where the bracelets were displayed.

He then picked up the bracelet located in the middle of the second row and put it in his inventory.

[Obtained Mana Wave.]
[Number of items that can be acquired: 2]

Seeing the message, Soo Hyuk headed to the place where the shoes were displayed.

Then he picked up the black shoes at the bottom and put them in his inventory.

[Obtained Mage’s Footsteps.]
[Number of items that can be acquired: 1]

Having obtained the shoes ‘Mage’s Footsteps’, Soo Hyuk finally moved to the place where the sacks were displayed.

“Is it this one?”

Unlike ‘Mana Wave’ and ‘Mage’s Footsteps’ obtained earlier, Soo Hyuk could not remember the exact location, so he checked the information of the sacks again.

‘Found it!’

After a while, Soo Hyuk was able to find what he was looking for.

[Liodirem Sack [Legendary]]

A sack filled with the magical mineral Liodirem.
When used, you can get ’10kg’ of Liodirem.

The last item Soo Hyuk planned to acquire; it was a sack full of Liodirem.

‘Someday I’ll be able to use it.’

It is not that there were no more legendary grade items in the warehouse. It is just that all of them were useless/unnecessary to Soo Hyuk.

In other words, even if he chose them it was for selling. However, what about Liodirem?

It was of the same legend grade and was a magical mineral.

It is very likely that he will need it one day.

[Obtained a Liodirem Sack.]
[Number of items that can be acquired: 0]
[Items can no longer be acquired.]

Soo Hyuk got all the items by putting the sack in his inventory, then he went back to the entrance.

At the entrance Soo Hyuk checked the item information of Mana Wave and Mage’s Footsteps that he obtained earlier.

[ Mana Wave [Legendary]]

Limits: Wizard, Health 300, Wisdom 2500
It is a bracelet made of Liodirem. It went through the hands of many mages.

[Mage’s Footsteps [Legendary]]

Limits: Wizard, Wisdom 3500
Physical Defense Amplification: 2
Magical Defense Amplification: 3

These are ancient shoes. Only the best mages of their time wore them.

Soo Hyuk smiled when he saw the item information. Then he immediately equipped them.

[The quest ‘Mana Wave 1’ has been created.]
[The quest ‘Mage’s Footsteps 3’ has been created.]

As soon as he wore them, the quests were created.

‘Is he still looking for items?’

Upon arriving at the entrance Soo Hyuk looked around for Yeon Jeung, but he was nowhere to be seen.

It seems that he was still checking the items.

Soo Hyuk checked the quest window as he waited for Yeon Jeung.

‘Is it the same quest?’

Mana Wave required the same things as Mana Storm. Which were mana stones, with the same number.

They looked identical in everything except for their names.

Thinking that the hidden options would be different, Soo Hyuk checked the Mage’s Footsteps quest.

‘This also needs monster hunting.’

The Mage’s Footsteps needed him to hunt 10,000, 20,000, 30,000 to a total of 60,000 monsters.

‘I have to go to a good place with many mobs.’

It did not matter if they were level 1 or level 100.
Soo Hyuk closed the quests window as he decided to go to a place with a lot of monsters.

Soon Yeon Jeung arrived smiling broadly.

“Did you finish choosing?”

Soo Hyuk asked Yeon Jeung.

“Yea!”

Yeon Jeung nodded vigorously.

Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung then left the warehouse and closed the door. Then went up the stairs and started talking.

“Do you remember the room’s location?”

Yeon Jeung asked.

Cranosson told them to come to his room after they were finished with the warehouse.

“Yes, I remember. The leftmost room is on the 3rd floor.”

“Oh, it was the leftmost room on the third floor.”

“Yes, but did you get good items?”

Yeon Jeung smiled at Soo Hyuk’s question.

“Yea! Items that are perfect for me! When I reach level 300, I can wear them both.”

Soon Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung arrived at Cranosson’s room, while they were talking about the items each of them acquired.

Before they even knocked, Cranosson opened the door and came out.

It was clear that it was because of Amiletta’s mark that Soo Hyuk had.

‘It’s not always a good thing.’

Soo Hyuk changed his mind about Amiletta’s mark.
He thought that it was not always a good thing, because his location was known.

“You arrived.”

Cranosson brought them inside and offered them seats.
Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung sat opposite to Cranosson as he said.

“I have a favor to ask you.”

The reason Cranosson wanted to see Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung was because of this request.

‘Is this a quest related to his request?’

He had no reason to offer quests related to the war, as they already agreed to help. Therefore, it must have been to his previous quest ‘Cranosson’s Request’.

“After the war is over, I plan to leave.”

And Soo Hyuk’s thoughts were exactly right.

“Can you help me then?”

[After the War]

Cranosson intends to leave the 10th Demon World after the war is over.

After the war, find Cranosson!

Quest Reward: Quest – To the Forbidden Temple of Barlogs.

“Okay.”

[You have accepted the quest ‘After the War’.]

Soo Hyuk read the quest information and immediately accepted it.

It is a quest that leads to another world. There was no reason not to take it.

“Thank you.”

Cranosson expressed his gratitude.

“No problem. Then we’ll be on our way!”

Soo Hyuk and Yeon Jeung got up from their seats, greeted Cranosson and left the room.

“Now what? We go hunting?”

As soon as they left the room, Soo Hyuk asked Yeon Jeung.

Cranosson’s quest was after the war was over, and the war quest needed more time. So, they did not have any specific quests to do now.

‘I want to go to the library, but…’

Of course, there was something more important to Soo Hyuk than hunting. It was the library. However, since Yeon Jeung was with him he could not do that.
